Bee drove us to meet up with everyone else "Let's give Bumblebee the good news. We got a ship now. We're leaving" Crosshairs said "You humans. After all we have done. You don't know what you've wrought upon yourselves" Optimus said

Both Cade and I were shocked "What? What is it now? What are you talking about? I mean, I'm doing stuff out of my league here!" Cade said "What's going on Prime?" I asked "You don't see who's controlling who. Within that manmade prototype I fought, I sensed the presence of Megatron" Optimus said

That made chills go down my back "What, the Decepticon that started the Chicago war?" Cade asked 

"How do you think KSI built those bots in the first place, hmm? They had a whole mess of dead Decepticon heads and they were downloading their minds! And I was in charge of autopsy duty. No union, no benefits, no nothing. They hooked me up to Megatron, and that mind wasn't as dead as they thought. He fed them the science and specs! All so they could build him a brand-new body. Then he infected it with his evil, nasty chromosomes. They had red, beady eyes. They got all in my lovely locks. Oh, I can smell it right now. Total inside custom job!" Brains said.

He jumped down "KSI might have named the body the snappy name of Galvatron, but that's just Megatron reincarnated!" Brains said "You knew this and you didn't warn them?" Tessa said

"Little girl, you can go to a pretty dark place when you on death row. He's been playing KSI all this time, all so that he could manipulate them into going after the Seed" he explained.

I sighed "Wheelie smack him for me" I said. Wheelie smacked Brains "Idiot" he said "Wait. The Seed?" Shane asked "Those nasty soldiers that were chasing us. I saw them board the ship, and they took something that they called the Seed" Tessa said

"Listen. Sixty million years ago, give or take an eon..." Hound began to explain "Thousands of planets were cyber-formed with Seeds. They turned your organic life into our elemental metals. Our creators destroyed your world to make us" Optimus explained

I couldn't believe this was going even more to shit "And that's what Galvatron wants to happen again. He wants to detonate that Seed in the biggest city and kill millions! He's gonna show the world, "Baby, I'm back."" Brains said 

"The blast wave will incinerate that city into molten metal. He'll have enough to build a massive army and annihilate your species forever" Optimus said "You dumb, greedy bastards just brought extinction to yourself. Not my problem, though. I'm free at last. Whole thing worked out good for me. I'm walking" Brains said

I picked him up and shook my head "We got to get the Seed before Galvatron does" I said

Joshua and his team had made it to China "The Seed is going to be the salvation of our company. We take delivery tonight. And next month, we detonate safely in the Mongolian desert. And we'll create enough Transformium for a hundred years" he explained

I was tired and stressed "Dad, I'm tired of running and stealing" Tessa said "Well, a place to sleep" Cade said as he got on the train "Yeah. Just another break-in" Shane said. Tess went in and she took a nap. 

I sat there "You know, when I was your age, I liked to get a little wild. I liked cars, girls. But then there was Tessa. And when she was born, all I ever wanted out of life was for her to be happy and healthy and safe. Somehow I thought I'd always be enough to protect her. But I won't be. I'll never be. So somebody better be. Thanks for being here today, Lucky Charms" Cade said to Shane

Shane sighed "Well, thanks for not shooting me when you had the chance" he said "Oh, I'll have more" Cade said "Yeah, I can see that". I got up and walked outside "Hound?" I called out "How can I help Lexi?" "Get me a secure line please?".

He nodded "Bumblebee" he called out. I walked over and grabbed my phone from Bee "All set" Hound said. The phone rang 4 times before he answered 

"Lexi?" 

"Hi, Will"  I said. I was holding back my tears. 

"We've missed you"  he said 

"I miss you guys too...Will I need you to listen to me" 

"Alexia, what's wrong?" 

"It's going to shit again, no matter what you see or hear, don't believe it" 

"You're starting to freak me out now" 

"I love you and the kids" 

"Alexia wa-"

Will's phone rang. He put Grace down and sat down "Getting snacks" he said before answering the phone 

"Lexi?"  he asked 

"Hi, Will"  she said. Oh how he missed her voice 

"We've missed you" he said 

"I miss you guys too...Will I need you to listen to me". She had her serious voice on, that concerned him 

"Alexia, what's wrong?"  he asked 

"It's going to shit again, no matter what you see or hear, don't believe it" 

"You're starting to freak me out now" 

"I love you and the kids" 

"Alexia wa-"

She hung up. Will shook his head "Damn it!" he said and threw his phone. He knew something big was happening. He knew she didn't know if she was going to make it or not, this wasn't a check in call. It was a goodbye call "Daddy?" Grace called out. 

Will wiped his tears "Yes, sweetie?" "I'm hungry" "Don't worry. We are going to visit uncle Morshower, we can get some burgers" "Yay! Burgers!"

She ran away "Owen! Burgers!" Grace yelled. Will grabbed his phone 

"Lennox"  Morshower said 

"Lexi called, some big shit is going down. I'll be there in 10"  he said and hung up

I hung up and closed my eyes and let out a silent sob. The boys just looked at me "Alexia?" Bee asked. I put my hand up and took a deep breath "I'm okay" I said. "We've intercepted the encrypted communications. Joshua Joyce is headed to his factory in Guangzhou, China" Drift said.

I wiped my tears "I'll go tell Cade" I said. I went back to the train "Cade" I called out "What's wrong? You okay?" he asked. I gave him a small smile "I'm okay but we got news Joshua is heading to China"

We walked back out and gave him a call "Hey, big shot. Your company's in serious trouble" Cade said. 

I put the phone on speaker "You better have a damn good lawyer"  Joshua said 

"Really? Well, you better have a great one 'cause you're about to be responsible for the annihilation of a city. Now, you listen to me. Your tech has been hacked. Your prototypes are infected. And now Galvatron is after that Seed. Look. I know you have a conscience because you're an inventor, like me. Do not let Galvatron anywhere near that Seed" 

"I control Galvatron. I created him" 

"Deep down, I know you know. Your prototype's been controlling you"

Cade hung up "How fast can that thing get us halfway around the world?" I asked "Very. It's a spaceship" Drift said. There was a helicopter and sirens coming near us. 

We ran to get Tessa "If we're traveling, now's the time" Hound said "All I want is to have our life back. It's your call. Whatever you want. Are we safer on our own, or are we safer with them?" Cade said.

Tessa turned around "She's a keeper. Must take after her mom" Shane said following her "I can't argue with that, kid" Cade said "Move! We're retrieving the Seed, but then we're done defending the humans" Optimus said 

"What, done?" Cade asked "What do you mean, you're done?" I asked "Means "finished," "see ya," "good-bye."" Crosshairs said.

I sighed and went into the ship

Lockdown was well into space when he found out a part of his ship was missing "Hijacked part of my ship? How did you let this happen? Shut down dark-matter drive, reverse course at light speed, and get us back! Prime's taken my trophy case. And he will feel my wrath!" Lockdown said

Joshua and Su had arrived "Welcome to China" the lady said "Put Galvatron in containment. Tell the techs do not activate him" Joshua said "Absolutely, sir" "I want security on high alert" Su said. Joshua walked into the office with both Savoy and Attinger waiting for him "Joyce. I cannot tell you how enthused I am to deliver this" Attinger said

Savoy uncovered the seed he had been given from Lockdown "Top of your alien wish list. It's yours. Or rather ours. I will need to see my advance. Five million shares of the company. Together, we're gonna end human warfare. We're about to build a fully automated U.S. Army. Just think of all the American lives we're gonna save" Attinger said

Some people were walking around "All of these cars are KSI's newest civilian prototype robots" one of the engineers said.

The 3 men talked "So how soon until we can start continuous production?" Attinger asked "You know, why don't we take a beat on this for a minute? I have some new data that I discovered and..." Joshua began to explain "You're not backing out on me here?" 

"No, I'm not backing out. I just... I want the Seed. I'm not saying I don't want the Seed. I'm just saying I don't know if I... If I want the Seed right now"

Joshua had been thinking about Cade's words in the back of his head "Good men have died trying to get that thing for us. For you" Attinger said 

"I know what you did to get that thing. A lot of illegal, icky shit. I can take you down, too, Mr. Black Ops. Don't you threaten me.I started this company when I was a boy, with a dream of making the world a better place" Joshua said 

"Funny. I had the same dream. Somewhere along the way, you made billions of dollars. So why don't you tell me what's missing from my dream? Why don't you tell me what's missing from my boyhood dream? I have served my country for decades of unparalleled prosperity and you are my golden parachute. So you are damn well jumping out of the plane with me!" Attinger had Joshua against the wall

Galvatron aka Megatron 2.0 had just awoken "I am Galvatron!" he yelled.

An engineer called Su and she started to speak in a louder voice which caught Joshua's attention "What's going on?" he asked walking out of the office "Your Galvatron has gone active. What haven't you been telling me?" she asked in a whispering voice

Joshua sighed "Find Darcy, and bring a car around downstairs. Quietly" Joshua replied back. Su snapped her fingers "We got a factory emergency. I have to get you out of here" Joshua said to Attinger and Savoy "What the hell's going on?" Attinger asked "Take them outside" "We had a deal. You got what you wanted" "I got what "it" wanted"

Galvatron used his powers and began to bring other cars to life "My brothers, today I grant you your freedom. And from now on, you are commanded by me. Rise up! Go find my Seed! Detonate the Seed in the largest city" Galvatron said
